Stocks to watch: HDFC Bank, NCC, JK Tyre, Groww among 10 shares in focus today

Stock market today: Both benchmark indices — the Sensex and Nifty 50 — ended Friday, November 28, almost flat as investors booked profits at higher levels and stayed cautious ahead of the Q2 GDP data. Mixed cues from global markets also kept sentiment subdued.

The Sensex dipped 14 points (0.02%) to close at 85,706.67, while the Nifty 50 slipped 13 points (0.05%) to 26,202.95. Among broader indices, the BSE Midcap index inched down 0.04% and the Smallcap index fell 0.13%.

"Indian markets ended virtually flat on November 28, with the Nifty hovering close to the 26,200 level. Sentiment improved following constructive progress in India–US trade negotiations. With Q2 GDP and IIP data due shortly, the overall outlook remains upbeat, and the upcoming prints are expected to validate the strengthening macro environment. By the close, the Sensex slipped 13.71 points or 0.02% to 85,706.67, while the Nifty eased 12.60 points or 0.05% to 26,202.95. Midcap and small-cap indices also wrapped up the session on a muted note. Sector-wise, pharma, media, and auto advanced 0.5–1%, while power, oil & gas, and telecom registered declines of 0.5–0.7%,” said Bajaj Broking Research.
